How the process works: each shoot is client-centred. You’ll receive pre-session guidance to prepare (from outfit choices to location), a calm and efficient studio environment in Earlsfield, and Laura’s hands-on direction throughout the session. After shooting there is a considered selection and viewing stage where images are reviewed and final edits applied, ensuring polished, ready-to-use photographs. Laura’s work has been recognised by industry awards and features, reflecting a commitment to craft and thoughtful portraiture. While portrait and business photography are the core specialisms, Shimili Mears also occasionally supports small product, family, maternity and event shoots—always with the same attention to making people feel seen and well represented.
